A 56-year-old Conroe woman is accused of running over her husband while drunk as she backed out of their driveway.

Ruthie Scheer was arrested and accused of manslaughter after her husband Frank Sheer, 66, was found pinned underneath her car in the couple's driveway in the 1200 block of North San Jacinto around 7 p.m. Saturday, said Sgt. Brent Stowe with the Conroe Police Department.

Police found the husband dead at the scene and said his wife, who was driving the car, was intoxicated. The two were having a conversation before Ruthie Sheer hit him with the car. Stowe said it was unintentional.

Emergency crews discovered Frank Sheer under the car, and an officer used a car jack to lift the vehicle to remove his body.
